There’s not really much I can add to the “future” theme, apart from that I will be continuing to take part in the “future”.

52 ancestors Week 23 (June 3rd -9th ): Wedding

Week 23 (June 3 rd -9 th ): Wedding From Amy Johnson Crow - June is a traditional month for "weddings" , so what better time to highlight the story of an ancestor's wedding? Maybe you've found something surprising in a marriage record or you have an ancestral "wedding" photo. As I have already used my parents “ wedding ” for the “long line” theme I am going to use another Lackey ancestor for this weeks theme of “ wedding ”. The couple pictured right are James (Jim) Gardiner Lackey and Eva Margaret Morley. They married in October 1949 in Willsden Middlesex. Jim was born on 4 th April 1910 in Houghton-le-spring, Durham, UK. He was the 4 th child out of 8 of Gardiner Lackey and Margaret Ann Liddle. Eva was born 22 nd May 1920 in Kensington, UK. She was the youngest ...

WEEK 26 – Slow

  WEEK 26 – Slow For the theme of “ slow ” I am linking it to a “ slow ” voyage from the UK to Australia that some of my ancestors took in 1853. The voyage was very “ slow ” and took 107 days to do, nowdays this voyage can be as quick as 25-30days by ship. David Guymer is the brother in law of 1 st cousin 5x removed. He was born21st July 1811 in Great Thurlow Suffolk to Robert and Susan. He had 9 siblings. On 9 th April 1830 David married Mary Ann Bentley in Great Thurlow. They had 10 confirmed children and a possible 11 th that I can’t find information on, only a name. David is listed on the 1841 census with his family, but his occupation isn’t clear – it’s something maker. In 1851 he is listed as woodman. This is where David’s census journey ends. In 1853 David and his family left their home in Suffolk and travelled to Southampton, where they boarded the Ship Harriet and set sail for a new life in Australia.   They set sail on 16 th February and arrived on 3 rd ...

  Week 3 (Jan. 18-24): Namesake – About me linked to Amy Rose and Dora Louise According to the dictionary "namesake" is a  noun -  a person or thing that has the same name as another. With the theme of “namesake” it really has to be linked to me as I’m the one doing this. Thankfully there is a story and link as to how I got my name (my sister wasn’t so lucky). I’m Amy-Louise Watson (nee Lackey), I was born in 1982 in Peterborough to Barbara May Haylock and Peter William Lackey. I was their 2 nd daughter. I spent most of my live in Peterborough, I went to school there, worked there, got married there, had my children there and then I moved to the Lake District in 2013. There are many ladies in the Tree called Amy and I have been named after one who was my Great Grandmother – Amy Rose Bland, who was also named after her Grandmother Amy Emma Rice. Amy Rose was born in 1904 in West Ham, Essex (now London). According to my Mum (Barbara), in the early 1980’s the name Am...
